In this video learn how to fully define the shelf formulas including a COPY operator and Copies behavior that references the spacing custom user variable.
- [Instructor] Now that we have the user interface…which drives these custom parameters.…We need to use these parameters in our shelf.…So let's work our way through these parameters…and turn them into formulas.…We'll start with the X position.…This is going to be equal to…the thickness here of the left side.…So I'll just scroll down and click on LenX down here…and press tab…and I'll come back up.…So the Y position of the shelf…is a negative value currently.…
So that's going to be equal to…the overall length in Y of the shelving unit.…Which is going to be a negative value.…So I need to put a minus in front of that.…And then I'm going to add to that or reduce it by…Shelf inset.…And I'll press tab.…And if you're logic is correct nothing will move over here.…If it does move then you have to rethink,…your formula.…It's working for me at this point,…so let's move on.…
The Z coordinate is going to be equal to…the thickness of the base.…So, I'll click on LenZ down here.…Now the size in X of our shelf…is going to be equal to…
